Auburn has found its “perfect” Christmas tree!

The Auburn Public Works Department will be installing the 2018 Christmas tree at Festival Plaza on Wednesday, November 7, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.

This beautiful, donated tree will make its way from its current home on Maple Point to Festival Plaza on Main Street. APW crews will be moving the tree using the following route: Poland Road to Minot Avenue to Court Street; Mechanics Row to Main Street, and then to its final destination at Festival Plaza. Please expect minor traffic delays during this process.

The City of Auburn would like to thank Joan Combs of Maple Point for so generously donating this year’s spectacular Christmas tree and for helping us to bring holiday cheer to downtown Auburn. Special thanks to Cote Crane and Rigging of Auburn for their continued, generous support and assistance with moving and installing the City’s tree each year.

The tree will be illuminated on November 24 as part of the “Twin Cities Holiday Celebration,” officially kicking off the holiday season in beautiful downtown Auburn. It will remain at Festival Plaza throughout the holiday season, including Auburn’s first ever “New Year’s Auburn” event!For more information on the Twin Cities Holiday Celebration, visit:
